A History of the Church in England. By J. R. H. Moorman. Morehouse Publishing, 1980. 512 pp. $29.95 (hardcover), $32.46 (paper).
Bishop Moorman’s A History of the Church in England is a carefully exposited work detailing the Church within England, and not merely the Church of England. He avoids pious legends, like the founding of the Church by Joseph of Arimathea[1] and focuses upon the breadcrumbs of early English Christian history through the late 20th Century. Bishop Moorman’s work reveals a common thread regarding the English Church. The British Isles is a story of struggle between her unique rites, customs, and ceremonies and conformity with the wider Western Church, centered in Rome. It is a theme that plays throughout the history of the English Church and, to a certain extent, circles back to where we start in the late 20th Century with the growth of Anglican and Roman Catholic ecumenical dialogue.[2]
